Of course powerful families are friendly with each other despite politics. Even Trump was good friends with the Clintons for a long time. Just Google images of "Trump and Clinton friends" and you get dozens of pictures of them at parties, chumming around, playing golf, etc. Those who buy into political extremes and "us against them" are being played by both parties.

in spite of any theatrical protestations to the contrary, there is just one party. Its the party of power and control.

But we have to ignore them. Class and dignity were something we saw in both the Bush and Obama Presidencies, and we lost in January of 2017. The Right thought nothing of making every horrible comment about Michelle Obama , but she kept her head held high and showed she is a strong, intelligent, very classy lady. Same with GW. As much as I disagreed with some of his policies, George is a good person at heart.



It is so nice to see two people, of opposite political and other views be able to get along and actually like one another. Too bad you will never see this happening from the Trump camp.


Thank you for this post. Could not rep you.

They're probably just comparing notes on how many people her husband had murdered compared to how many Cheney had murdered.

Ten thousand here, ten thousand there--what's the difference?

How is Michelle Obama a war criminal by any bizarre stretch of anyone's imagination?

You are comparing someone who started a decade-long un-provoked war with a First Lady?

OMG - wait until Laura Bush finds out she a war criminal!

I've seen some incredibly disgusting accusations about Michelle Obama here, but this one takes the cake.

Finally, good political news. Two people from different political backgrounds coming together to enjoy life. Just being open and accepting of each other is so much easier and fun than negative, hurtful rhetoric. Good for them!

I think what he meant was W and her husband are both war criminals.

Which is a 100% true statement.

"Partner in crime"...

Quintessential Freudian slip.

Criminals don't exactly have a lot of integrity. When you remember that you can understand the Obamas much more readily.
